Qatar is going to give the new AF1 to Trump personally when he leaves office

Qatar supports Hamas. They also supported al qaeda.

Saudi is the breeding ground for most of the 9/11 hijackers AND killed an american journalist.

It is pragmatic to have a presence in the region. Iran is reason # 1.

But these countries are not our allies, not our friends, and you cannot in the same breath say college protesters are Hamas lovers while being okay with Trump accepting gifts from actual Hamas lovers.

Notably, Trump did not visit Israel, so the whole antisemitic smokescren is already dissolving


Got it. Great points. While we're at it, let's go invade Iran just like we did Iraq, Syria, Libya etc. because Netanyahu told us to.

Qatar Had No Luck Selling a Luxury Jet. Then Trump Set His Sights On It.
Officials in the Pentagon and President Trump’s White House assumed the plan would involve buying the plane. How did it morph into a proposed gift by Qatar?

The story of how the Trump administration decided that it would accept a free luxury Boeing 747-8 from Qatar to serve as Air Force One involved weeks of secret coordination between Washington and Doha. The Pentagon and the White House’s military office swung into action, and Mr. Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steven Witkoff, played a key role.

That's the very least of it.

He's a convicted felon who has illegally accepted a bribe from a country where he does business.

Where are the Democrats??????? Why is there no OUTRAGE over this overt corruption and graft???

Criminals usually try to hide their crimes, but in the Trump administration, all that corruption is right out in the open!!

And Trump says he'd accept a gift from South Africa!! "I'd take it." THAT IS A CRIME!!!!!!!

My outrage meter is broken.

Criminals scream at reporters who confront them with their illegal behavior.

Classic.

This thing won’t be ready for service until Trump is gone, so we the taxpayers will have spent millions of dollars to upgrade it to AF1 standards, just in time for it to be transferred to Doofenschmirtz Evil Incorporated.

Rationalize it all you want - this is a straight-up grift.

What do you want "the Democrats" to do?
The Republicans have the legal power to remove this traitor from office. What do the Democrats have?

If Drump users tax dollars to "upgrade" the plane and use it for official government business, could he really legally claim ownership of it when he leaves office and take it?

Did we build walls around some Presidential residences? Does the government now own the property?

U.S. Formally Accepts Luxury Jet From Qatar for Trump
The Air Force has been asked to figure out a way to upgrade it so it can be put into use as a new Air Force One for the president.

It’s funny that people get outraged by this but don't have much to say about Israel and AIPAC literally purchasing nearly every representative of the US govt, including the president, for the last 50 years.


It's funny that you think that's the same. Did any single person receive $400 million before? Do tell.

You're definitely right. This is unprecedented. Except, oops, there's plenty of precedent -- just not publicized by your Democrat-enabling cronies in mass media. See your savior, Obama:

https://www.propublica.org/article/obamas-flip-flops-on-money-in-politics-a-brief-history

"When President Obama told supporters that he would morph his campaign into a new nonprofit that would accept unlimited corporate donations, the announcement set off a familiar round of griping from campaign finance reformers.

The creation this month of Organizing for Action, which will promote the president’s second-term agenda, appears to be the fourth reversal by Obama on major money-in-politics issues since 2008.

“No big bank or corporation will donate million-dollar checks to OFA without the expectation that it will impact which issues they engage on, and that’s very troubling,” said Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee."
